However, URA charts (introduced in ''8'') and UPPER charts (introduced in ''peace'') provide already-existing songs with a new set of charts, usually more difficult than before (and adding long Pop-kuns, in the case of UPPER charts).

* GratuitousEnglish: Though less than most other Bemani; song [[strike:names]] genres are written almost exclusively in Japanese characters. Each game in the series has an announcer who talks in English; some speak it [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish flawlessly]], while some will pronounce, say, "Challenge Mode", as "charenji moodo."

* ChallengeRun: Challenge Mode's many normas. Before a song, you can select up to two normas, each with their own requirements (such as getting ''x'' points or getting less than ''y'' bads). Fulfilling a norma's requirement will earn you "Challenge Points". Though not necessary to pass songs, getting enough Challenge Points will yield an [[BonusBoss extra stage]].

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** ''peace'' introduces "Popperz chronicle", where instead of an original song you play a medley of the hardest songs from past installments, from ''14 FEVER!'' to ''peace''... [[OhCrap but you have to play parts of their charts as well, complete with the BPM changes.]] This is taken UpToEleven with the UPPER chart added in June 16th, 2020, which recreates the respective chart sections more faithfully, [[NintendoHard most apparent in the SILENT section.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: About 10-20 new characters with every release. Check out the [[Characters/PopNMusic character page]]! This page doesn't even begin to convey just how many characters there are. One of the Official Character Illustration books for the series has over 300 pages just devoted to Character bios alone. Granted, the book covers 10 games, but for a rhythm gave to even have characters, let alone 300+, well... you can see why this trope applies. %% Pop'n fans, help us fill it out!
